As good as it used to be or not? Used century Rods of old like fbs, NG and sp but this was fifteen plus years ago, looking at the stealth carbon pod but users of the carbon sticks from ten years ago say they fall apart with many saying the alloy heads detach from the carbon tube, any recent users especially of the stealth pod?

I was looking at the stealth pod myself but got put off from a lot of reviews saying it was very unstable and everything just kept coming loose, stuff falling off it. I went for a jag super compact mk2 black pod instead in the end

I have the stealth carbon pod, chose it as I like singles when possible but handy to set up as a pod when needed, build quality has been fine, only issue is when I have used it as a pod the pod tips over if fishing at any sort of angle,

I Ended up paying another £90 on 3 6 inch bank sticks, this has made the pod lower and more stable, still not brilliant so if possible I peg it down!

I've been using the chunky stealth sticks ( the same as in the stealth pod ) for a while now as single with no issues at all with the alloy becoming detached . And the slim stealth before those. Again with no issues

Was going to enquire if I could buy the pod with 6inch and 9inch instead of the 9 and 12 inch standard. Also interested in the cq net if anyone has used it?

Found it far to high with the 6 and 9inch, much prefer it with the 6 inch sticks as standard, I also have the net and again build quality is superb and can't fault it !
Are you sure?
